BEEcHER's SUCCESSOR.
The English Clergyman Who VIII
Become the New Pastor.

NEW YORK, Nov. Alt is virtually set
tied that Rev. Charles A. Berry of Wolyer-
hampton, Eng, is to be called to Plymouth
church as its pastor. The advisory commit
tee Of the church, having charge of the sub
jeet 1T a successor to Mr.. Beecher met last
even ng, and unanimously voted TO recon-
me the selection of Mr.. Berry. While
thi, 'loes not bind the church, there is little
dOuJt that the choice of the committee will
be ratified, inasmuch as the sentiment in the
church is strongly set in the same direction,
so strongly, indeed, that the committees ac-
ton is virtually dictated by the universally
expressed desire.
Mr.. Berry is now 35 years old. At % he
took his first charge, a church in Bolton,
England, and is now in his fourth year as
pastor of the Queen street Congregational
church in Wolverhampton. During this
time it is said that no less than ten branches
have been established in the "black coun-
try" round about, for the colliers and foun-
dry men. Five of these have already sepa-
rate houses of worship, and fund for
building the others is nearly accumulated.
Mr. Berry has been the moving power in
this great mission enterprise, and is credited
\ u the knack of getting a great deal of
" rk out of his associates without seeming
TO bring to bear any special pressure. The
home church Is in most flourishing condi-
ti0n, and is one Of the largest-perhaps the
largest-outside of London. of the Congre-
gational churches of England.
In addition to the successful conduct of
his church work, Mr.. Berry has taken de-
eided and prominent position with respect to
public affairs at home. 1t is on him that the
duty often falls of representing the churches
of his denomination ON pdblic occasions, as
he did when Mr.. Beecher was received by
the ministers, and as he did just before sail
ing for America, when he welcomed, in the
name of the Non-Conformist chnrches, the
Church Of England convention at Wolver-
hampton, the Archbishop of Canterbury pre-
siding

good Of the party and the young blood itself?
Nearly all the western cities, and few Of

service to the party as whole, and outside
of campaigns, by meeting together now and

TO be composed not only Of young voters, but
coming young voters, who are old enough 10

HOW 1T HAPPENED,
Charges of Drunkenness Against
the Captain of the Vernon,

CHICAGO, Nov 4-There seems to be no
doubt that Captain Thorp, who was in COM
mand of the Inflated steamer Vernon, which
was lost on the lake a short time ago, was an
habitual drunkard. From the statement of
many persons who had sailed with him from
time to time it would appear that he was
drunk on every voyage. One man emphati-
cally declares that Thorp had delirium tre-
mems in the pilot house a short time ago.
Axel Stone, the only survivor of the disaster,
when asked if he ever saw Captain Thorp
drunk, replied: ''rhe captain was drunk
most of the time, and he was very drunk
when we left Sheboygan last week. While
we were coming through the straits the Sec
ond mate said to him: Sober up, you drunk
en- beast. and take care of this boat and the
people, u1
FRIDAY night which was the night that
the steamer was lost, the captain was as
drunk as / ever saw him, and kept taking a
drink every little while from a bottle thatlhe
carried in his coat pocket. If the captain
had been sober l don't believe the vessel
would have been lost, for any sober man
would have turned back when he saw how
badly she acted in big sea-"

the body, and one of them had a rib broken.
The injured men were attended by Surgeon
Wise of the torpedo station, and were then
taken to Newport Hospital. The cause Of
the explosion is unknown, but 1t would seem
that the officer in charge Of the battery must
have turned the current on too soon, as the
torpedo could not have exploded unless the
battery was on.
